Description

using KernelAbstractions

@kernel function kernel_index!(a)
  i = KernelAbstractions.@index(Global)
  @inbounds a[i] = i
end

let
  a = zeros(1)
  kernel! = kernel_index!(CPU(), 1, 1)
  event = kernel!(a)
  wait(event)
end

fails with

TaskFailedException:
MethodError: no method matching __index_Global_Linear()

Research direction

Reproduce the failure from examples/unroll_issue.jl, then inspect src/macros.jl and src/backends/cpu.jl, which appear in the stack trace. Trace how @index(Global) is expanded and invoked in the CPU path, and verify that the example completes without the __index_Global_Linear() MethodError.
